So Many Years

Left alone to play in the rainI kissed her tonightAs she dreamt Her voice stared across the dreamI felt the stringent pull of timeI know and knew this for So many yearsThere is no surprise on this tripThe end has always been there since the beginningAnd loveWhat of it? If it hides and plays Can it ever be yours? Desire is the beastAnd possession its bone..But in the dark of a cold winter nightI kissed her on a cheek and bid My nightly farewellBecause I knew and knowCandles flicker and extinguishFlowers wither andMemories fade into dream
